Not Meant
Not meant
Two important words
Not meant to fit in
With a world so lost
That all holiness
Has away it tossed
Night and day
My senses does it accost
Raging chaos
Blind stumbling in
satan's grip
My name does it scream
But somewhere else
To someone else
Do I turn to fulfill
All my dreams
To God's beauty, peace
And love do I belong
No more do I listen
To my enemy's most false
Of siren songs
Stop for a moment to think
That maybe
Just like me
Created in His love
You were after all
Only Meant
In His arms alone to
Eternally fit
All this just for your
Heavenly Benefit!!
True Worth
I know I am
A sinner
Steeped
In sin
Since my birth
My only true worth
Lies deep
Within Your Name
But
To worship
You incessantly
From the start
Does this
To my life
True joy impart
The privilege
To carry
Your Name
Not for profit
Nor for fame
Joy such as this
From nothing else
Will you gain
Oh my
Jesus, Holy Master
Can you not
Perfect me
A little faster
Then others too
May see
And receive the bliss
Of just one kiss
Ah,
Your love's perfection!!
Spirit
You dance
Enmeshed in their arms
Do you hold them together
In eternity's airs?
Ethereal
Non-corporal
Yet so powerful
Working within the heart
To bring life a new start
That re-birth
So,
Holy Spirit
Come dance with me
Fill me
Though unseen
Allow again
Another face
among the throngs
Your will to see
And as you bring
To lay at my feet
Heaven's great infinities!!
The Answer
To be with You
Holy God
Inseparable
Completely joined
You living in me
Or
Perfectly together,
My daily existence
Walking inside of You!
But how can that happen
How can that truly be?
Perhaps only in eternity
The answer to that question
will I at last be able to see!
Praise
Praise even harder
As satan squeezes tighter
For you know
Jesus is a fighter
Never giving up
satan has no knockout punch
Delivering in just one tremendous blow
Jesus raised a bloodied fist
From that wooden cross
Only one wham
then a bam
Christ just sighed
then He died
Finally relaxed
Had finished His task
& just went out to lunch!!!
We Say
I say this
You say that
Words flying thru the air
Tossed into that great hat
Of a world's opinions
Changing almost by the hour
Quickly coming in increasing showers
From the human ever restless heart
At an ancient beginning, our start
No end in sight to this
Our dark, yet most refin-ed art
In opposition to more elevated words
Trying strongly man's destiny to turn
Spun from heaven's celestial higher calling
Still we stumble, tumble over our mispronuciations to continue falling
Over our own words
We ruin ourselves our lives
With crude, more crass words every day
When will we ever learn the
Value in those words
our only God has such to say?
God's words can lift us higher
Ignite in us once more a Spirit's fire
Able to lift out of a dark murk & mire
Of our own creating
We should listen
To what God has to say
With His shining verbal pearls
Enhancing all our days
Speaking crystal shards of truth
To deny satan's stabbing wounds
As in eternity an ancient enemy's darkness
God forever will at last exclude!!!
